As a native English speaker I remember exercises on stress (having to identify stressed and unstressed syllables, for example), so I presume that these also helped develop a sense of rhythm. Some exercises also had us listen to the teacher read sentences and we'd mark up a transcription with stress and intonation marks, like this. | |
